the art team outdid themselves with the illustration for this piece exploring the Kash Patel FBI extended universe
that makes me so happy!
I watched the State of the Union and all you got was this, on Mike Johnson gazing rapturously as Trump ranted about fountains of blood
Lucky Trump Fan Mike Johnson Gets Dream Trip to State of the Union

no, probably for the best!
in honor of a certain surgeon general nominee’s hearing today, here is the story of (among other things) the time I tried to take her advice about milk www.theatlantic.com/magazine/202...
composing this mediocre skeet reminded me that there’s a jaunty 3D animated Animal Farm inching ineluctably toward us and I have not had the amount of coffee yet that would leave me emotionally ready to face that reality

personally if I were sitting behind a man proclaiming that my entire job was meaningless and my power was as dust in his eyes I would not smile and clap and nod and stand but that is one of many ways Mike Johnson and I are different

standing oflation
if inflation is down then why is literally every line receiving a standing ovation
*first year
“a transformation like no one has seen before… a turnaround for the ages” -Trump describing his first term, more accurately than he may intend

Hannibal but in a universe where Kash Patel is in charge of the FBI
I understand why chatbot cheating happens but every time I read about it I want to gently remind everyone that the point of schoolwork is not for the submission to exist. Teachers are not just greedy for more essays or solved equations. The point is to do the work WITH YOUR OWN BRAIN, FOR LEARNING.
